5S – Getting to a Stable State


Use 5S correctly to Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain the work you perform daily. It’s the foundation of a “stable state” on which Lean implementation is built. Whether in the shop, the truck, the jobsite, the gang box, your office, your desk or your purse or wallet, this simple method will eliminate wasted time and motion and clear your mind.

Description

Description

5S is often the starting point for companies when trying to implement a continuous improvement culture. It will engage your workers and give them a platform to contribute their ideas for improvement, immediately.

5S is a tool that anyone can adapt and apply to their own work if they are looking for Standardization, Predictability, Increased Visual Communication, and less Variability in their workplace and especially with tasks they repeat over and over. Great 5S is visual and transparent.

However, it’s more of an “on the job” or “at the workplace” tool than an overall business strategy. 5S concerns itself with the nitty-gritty details of a particular workplace or task: the materials, workflow, processes, visualizations, and often, the supply chain of all these.

If you walk onto a construction site and see mess after mess, materials stacked in a hodge-podge, trash here and there – there is a high probability that it’s a poorly run project and likely the schedule is late, the project over budget and the quality is sub-par.

5S will improve upon these things by giving you a structure to follow when addressing repeatable work, thereby allowing you to really consider what is most important to your work.

OTHER COURSES IN THE LEAN CONSTRUCTION ESSENTIALS SERIES:

Value, Waste and Flow – The Foundations of Lean

Lean projects and organizations focus on value, as the customer defines it. Value is most efficiently created when waste is identified and removed, allowing work to flow. Work flows when it is “pulled” not pushed. This foundational course helps one understand why flow efficiency trumps resource efficiency.

The 8 Wastes in Construction

Make more profit by doing less. The enemy of value is waste but knowing what is waste isn’t obvious if it’s everywhere. Discern value from waste by learning how value is created and what the “DOWNTIME” wastes are. You be able to then eliminate waste and teach others how to do the same by performing “Waste Walks”.
